6.9" Fossil Ornithopod Dinosaur (Dryosaurus) Tibia - Wyoming
This is a very unusual dinosaur fossil, a partial tibia from Dryosaurus altus, collected from the Late Jurassic aged Morrison Formation on a private ranch (Red Canyon Ranch) in Bighorn County, Wyoming. Seldom is Dryosaurus material seen/available on the market. It measures 6.9" long and based on size, this would have come from a sub-adult animal.
The bone was found heavily compressed and fractured, requiring glue stabilization and some gap fill restoration.
